    You didn't specify an owner when you ran the @property command.  It thus
    created a "rc" property on this object -- owned by the owner of the
    object.  This is why you could not edit it; permissions on the property
    are distinct from permissions on the object.

    +w is a bad bad way to deal with shared code.  In particular, don't EVER
    make a verb +w unless you don't really care about your MOOing
    experience. :-)
